A ground-breaking Mass setting, Voice of My People explores the various ways in which musical genres within the African diaspora articulate the cultural expressions of Blackness. Composer M. Roger Holland II has unified the various parts of the Mass not with a melodic motif, but with the understanding that Black people are not monolithic in their understanding of self or cultural expression. Each Mass movement highlights a different musical style reflecting the African diaspora: gospel, jazz, chant, reggaetón, Afro Cuban music, and R&B. The Sanctus (Mtakatifu) is set in Kiswahili to represent African language and culture. A truly beautiful expression of the diversity of the Black Catholic Church!
